They debuted in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' as large windborne seeds that [[Mario]] can grab on to and be taken into the sky on gusts of [[wind]]. From ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' onward, Fluffs appear as small [[Flower (environmental object)|flowers]] that reveal concealed items when stirred.

Fluffs (or '''floating fluffs''')<ref>{{cite|author=Averill, Alan and Jennifer Villarreal|date=2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide''|publisher=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|location=Redmond|page=107|isbn=1-930206-23-2}}</ref> first appear during [[Fluff Festival Coin Hunt]] in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. Fluffs are the primary fixture in [[Pianta Village]]'s local Fluff Festival, during which they are floating into the sky. Mario can grab one and use it to glide from the top of the giant palm tree in the center of the village to a nearby cloud to retrieve the mission's [[Shine Sprite]]. Fluffs move back and forth between the two areas with quick but regular movements.

In addition to the festival itself, dialogue with the local [[Pianta]]s suggests fluffs are of cultural significance to them. They are incorporated into various songs. The guitarist of the [[Doot-Doot Sisters]] specifically plays a ballad during [[Secret of the Village Underside]] about a lover being whisked away into the sky on a fluff. Fluffs are also the basis for a dance called the "fluff-fluff dance."

In this game, Fluffs release their seeds if Mario (or Luigi) [[dash|runs]] through them, or if the player blows air through the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s microphone. Some Fluffs release [[coin]]s or [[Super Mushroom]]s when stirred. In [[Mystery Box]]es, they release [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. Fluffs occur throughout the game in courses above ground, starting with [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]]. They can be white or yellow.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its reissue]], Fluffs are integrated with the same appearance and function that they had in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and are found throughout the [[Sprixie Kingdom]]. Blowing through the {{button|wiiu|Mic}} on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] or tapping one through the touchscreen causes a Fluff to lose its seeds.
